Same scene. Different visual styles.
</aside>
Let’s take a random “scene-prompt”: a group of Indians (20s - 40s, both men and women) working in an office, some on laptop, some chatting near a water-cooler. Modern contemporary clothing. Large windows.
Now if you ask an image-gen to create the above, it will give you a generic AI looking image. Like below (this was created using ChatGPT Plus).
Nothing wrong with this. But you didn’t get to have any control on the visual style. And sometimes, you want that. Especially when the need is to have a distinctive yet consistent visual style for a brand.
And this page shows you exactly that - with examples.
Key Process: You can illustrate / visually represent any scene in different styles just by adding a “style-prompt” to your scene-prompt.

Below are some style-prompt examples, to illustrate the point.

Note: You should add / modify your brand colour-codes to these style-prompts, for further customization.

We also encourage you to come up with your own style-prompts (over and above what we we have shared in this page). And then save them somewhere so that you can always get a consistent visual style, for your brand, whenever needed.

Create a high-contrast futuristic editorial graphic on a deep black background, combining monochrome halftone photography with thin white wireframe drawings and minimalist technical interface elements. Use a large central subject rendered in dense black-and-white halftone dots, as if reproduced through an old newspaper screen or photocopy. Partially overlay the photographic form with white 3D wireframe geometry - contour meshes, polygon grids, skeletal outlines or digital modeling lines - so the analogue and digital layers merge together. Surround the subject with fine technical diagrams: circles, coordinate lines, measurement marks, interface boxes, crosshairs, thin frames, nodes, labels and subtle handwritten annotations. Keep these elements sparse and precise. Use an almost entirely black, white and grey palette, with only one tiny accent colour - such as warm orange or muted peach—for a node, marker or focal point. Let the composition feel asymmetrical and experimental. Crop the main subject aggressively and allow wireframe forms to extend beyond it into empty black space. Maintain strong contrast between: dense halftone texture, crisp white wireframe line, large areas of pure black negative space, and delicate technical annotations. The overall result should feel like a blend of cybernetic blueprint, experimental fashion editorial, early computer graphics, surveillance interface and contemporary technology poster—minimal, intelligent, slightly ominous and highly graphic. Avoid bright multicolour palettes, glossy 3D rendering, realistic lighting, soft gradients, conventional sci-fi neon effects or polished corporate UI design.
Prompt: Create a dreamlike editorial collage using layered photographic cut-outs, translucent geometric shapes and soft double-exposure effects. Combine oversized close-ups of technology, scientific instruments and human subjects into one overlapping composition, with deliberately imperfect cropping and unexpected changes in scale. Let objects partially dissolve into one another rather than appearing as separate elements. Use large circles, blurred blocks and angular colour fields as abstract visual anchors, while keeping the central subject recognisable but slightly surreal. Give the entire image the tactile feel of a vintage screen print or photocopied magazine: visible paper grain, ink bleed, faded edges, colour misregistration, halftone noise and subtle scratches. Avoid clean digital realism, sharp corporate graphics or perfectly balanced symmetry. The final visual should feel energetic, experimental and optimistic—somewhere between a 1980s science magazine cover, a handmade risograph poster and a contemporary technology editorial.
